From the monumental works of Homer to the texts of the early church fathers, the ancient Greeks produced a body of literature that has been rarely equalled throughout history.

Featuring contributions from a wide range of established and emerging scholars of Greek literature, readings focus primarily on the changing forms and contexts of Greek literature as it evolved over the centuries. Areas explored include the production and transmission of ancient Greek texts, historic reception, individual authors, and many more.

Combining innovative scholarship with an unprecedented breadth of coverage, A Companion to Greek Literature is an indispensable reference to a series of literary masterpieces that have influenced and inspired readers to the present day.
